Diddy accuses federal prosecutors of dirty pool … claiming they showed judge redacted version of judge Cassie beat video to make him look more dangerous than he is.
Didi and his attorneys filed new documents ahead of his bail hearing set for Friday … accusing prosecutors of misrepresenting and concealing important facts, including allegedly redacting a sequence of events from a March 2016 surveillance video.

@CNN:
They claim the government has a more complete version of that surveillance video, presumably the version the world saw when it was released, but instead tweaked the sequence of events to offer their “strongest evidence of danger and obstacles.”
Diddy claims the video does not show evidence of a “riot,” but of a “domestic dispute in which he ran down the hotel hallway to retrieve his clothes and cell phone.”
As for some of the violence depicted in the video, Diddy says he didn’t “drag” Cassie down the hall or throw a vase at her. He claims he only threw the contents of the vase at Cassie.
He says the video is really just a “sad look at a decade-old consensual relationship” … and not evidence of violent monstrosity or sex-trafficking.
Diddy’s general claim is that prosecutors are trying to make him seem more dangerous than he is, so the judge will keep him behind bars until his trial.
